In the ‘Meter Wars’, will you join the Utility Empire or the Consumer Jedis?

Not long ago, energy efficiency & conservation were considered the ugly step-brothers of environmentalism. They were overshadowed by their sexier siblings–solar panels and wind turbines.

That has changed. The topic of “Energy Efficiency and Community Participation” was discussed at the Clean Power, Healthy Communities Conference Wednesday. The afternoon panel consisted of Tara Marchant, Program Manager of the Green Asset Program at The Greenlining Institute, Jodi Pincus, Exectuive Director of Rising Sun Energy Center, and Mark Toney, of The Utility Reform Network.
